Peer
Today, Boss Tomorrow - Navigating Your Changing Role
Making
the leap from peer to boss is never easy. In addition to dramatic
change, new managers frequently struggle to balance their
old coworker relationships with their new management responsibilities.
Designed to help participants make a successful transition
from "coworker" to "manager" or "supervisor,"
Peer Today, Boss Tomorrow presents four proven strategies
that will help new supervisors navigate changing relationships
and prepare for the most difficult situations they're
likely to encounter as they assume their new role.
Through
the four strategies presented and applied in this program,
participants will have the opportunity to learn:
- What
it means to accept the responsibilities of their new role.
-
How to exercise their abilities to set clear boundaries.
-
The value of strengthening their communication skills.
-
The importance of taking thoughtful and strategic action.
Participants
will learn how to address these common situations:
- Overcoming
the fear of lost friendships and lost rapport
-
Disciplining a former peer
-
Managing coworkers who are older
-
Enforcing a policy the individual may have personally broken
prior to becoming a manager
-
Avoiding the appearance of favoritism

with former peers (and all direct reports)
